"كَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَى الْعبَادِ خَمْسَ صلَوَتٍ، فَمَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ أَدّى حَقَّهُنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عنْدَ الله عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ ضَيَّعَ حَقَّهُنَّ اسْتخْفَافًا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَهْدٌ، إِن شَاءَ عَذَّبَه وإِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَه".
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana tribe called al-Mukhdaji heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad saying, "The witr is obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to Ubada ibn as-Samit and presented myself to him as he was going to the mosque, and told him what Abu Muhammad had said. Ubada said that Abu Muhammad had lied and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah the Majestic and Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them and does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to them, there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into the Garden.Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with Allah. If He wishes, He punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him into the Garden.' "
أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً بِالشَّامِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ فَقَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever fulfills the five daily prayers, perfecting them, will have no deficiency in his rights with Allah. He will have a covenant with Allah that he will not be punished. And whoever fulfills them, but with some deficiencies in his rights, will not have a covenant with Allah. If Allah wills, He will have mercy on him, and if He wills, He will punish him."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ جَاءَ بِالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ قَدْ أَكْمَلَهُنَّ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ وَقَدِ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيْئًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ»
[Machine] I heard Abu Muhammad Al-Ansari say, "Witr prayer is obligatory." Ubada said, "Abu Muhammad is lying. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants. Whoever fulfills them, completing and not diminishing them out of neglecting their rights, Allah will have a covenant with him to enter Paradise. And whoever fulfills them but diminishes them out of neglecting their rights, Allah will not have a covenant with him. He may either punish him or show him mercy.'"
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ الْوِتْرُ وَاجِبٌ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ افْتَرَضَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ أَكْمَلَهُنَّ وَلَمْ يَنْتَقِصْهُنَّ اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ وَقَدِ انْتَقَصَهُنَّ اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ»
Ibn Muhayriz said: A man from Banu Kinanah, named al-Makhdaji, heard a person called AbuMuhammad in Syria, saying: The witr is a duty (wajib). Al-Makhdaji said: So I went to Ubadah ibn as-Samit and informed him. Ubadah said: AbuMuhammad told a lie. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There are five prayers which Allah has prescribed on His servants. If anyone offers them, not losing any of them, and not treating them lightly, Allah guarantees that He will admit him to Paradise. If anyone does not offer them, Allah does not take any responsibility for such a person. He may either punish him or admit him to Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1420)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يَدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»
"خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى العِبَادِ، فمنْ جاءَ بهِنَّ لمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شيْئًا -استِخفافًا بِحقِّهِنَّ- كان لهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْد أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الجنَّة، ومَنْ لَمْ يأتِ بِهِنَّ فليْس لَهُ عِنْد اللَّهُ عهْد، إِنْ شاءَ عَذّبَهُ، وإِن شاءَ أَدْخلهُ الجَنَّة".
"مَنْ جَاءَ بِالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ قَدْ أَكْمَلَهُنَّ، لَمْ ينقِصْ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيئًا كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُ، وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيئًا، فَلَيسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ، إِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ".
